I can recommend it to anyone looking for a chilled and uncomplicated atmosphere. I (traveling alone, 26 yrs) booked 5 days and stayed 32 days. It's a Vipe in this hostel, where I really liked it. Everyone is super helpful and nice. If there is anything, just let Randal know and it will be sorted. They are straightforward with check in and out. If you have a late night bus, you can easily go surfing again beforehand and then take a shower (remember wearing flip-flops). I rented my wetsuit and surfboard at the hostel. They can give you lots of tips for activities or even organize a safe cab. They look after you. There is a cute fat cat, Lola, who also lives there and Marie makes sure the hostel is clean. You can also have your laundry washed for little money. The included breakfast is great. In general, the food in the restaurant is cheap, fresh and delicious. During the time I was there, I saw some renovation work being carried out and also the replacement of the fridge and seat cushions in the lounge. They are constantly trying to make improvements, which I find very positive.

Very nice hostel, felt like shared home with the other guests. Owners are very friendly and helpful, they're always around for a chat or help where needed. Nice and clean kitchen and shared areas. We hang around a lot on the terrace with other guests. Calm during the nights. Bakery, small market and restaurants... All around the corner.

My stay at Pointbreak Surf Hostel was amazing. The location is unbeatable, right in front of the beach, perfect for surf lovers. The facilities are very clean with daily housekeeping. I took surf lessons during my stay, and they were excellent. The instructors are very professional and patient. The overall space is super cozy and ideal for relaxing. I will definitely come back!

All hostels in Huanchaco

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostel I’ve been in my life. Super clean, hot showers, curtain on the dorm bed. Amazing family vibe with common areas that makes it easy to meet other travelers. Paul the owner was super helpful ! I’m not surprised by how many people end up prolonging their stay !

    The hostel has the perfect location. Waking up you can already hear and see the sea. The staff is super friendly and creates a great atmosphere where you feel at home immediately! Surfboards can be rented for cheap the whole day.

    Great location, very friendly staff and a very relaxed vibe. Had some surf lessons with Randall who works at the hostel and they were excellent. The breakfast options were also the best I’ve had on my travels in South America, and the lunch and dinner was good and well priced too.

    The hostel is really great. Well equipped big kitchen, lots of communal areas where you can hang out and socialize, but also enough more cosy private spaces with hammocks. Dorm was spacious, clean, comfy bed and had curtains on the beds. Only 1 minute away from the ocean and one of the best hostels I have stayed in so far in Peru!!

    The atmosphere at this hostel was really special! The family who run it make it like feel like a home. They are super welcoming and it was easy to mix the the few other backpackers there due to its size. Jon can do surf lessons with you - he was a great teacher! The kitchen is well equipped so we made breakfast together every night which was really special. Chill vibes here, it’s know for having parties but we didn’t have any in my time there which suited me.

    Amazing, unsuspecting hostel - we weren’t expecting much but were very pleasantly surprised. The hostel had unlimited coffee in the morning, a great atmosphere, cheap yoga and loads of places to chill. We had a great few days relaxing.
